B.A. Scott Marriage Services 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $450
  • Serves Forest, VA

As an ordained elder + pastor, I have the privilege of coaching couples and officiating weddings; each one as unique as and representative of the people I get the privilege of marrying. One of my FAVORITE things is ensuring that couples have a joyful, authentic ceremony - no matter how large or how intimate. I look forward to supporting your special day, however you envision it! I am based in VA, but I love a good trip so I’m also happy to support weddings outside of Virginia and destination weddings / elopements.

Our wedding with B.A. was everything we wanted and more. From start to finish, the experience felt personal, smooth, and thoughtfully guided. Every detail reflected care and intention, making the day feel stress-free and truly centered on our love. We felt supported throughout the entire process, and the atmosphere created for our ceremony was beautiful and meaningful. It wasn’t just a wedding—it was a moment we’ll always remember with gratitude and joy.

Working with the team at I Got A Love Jones Events was an absolute pleasure. While I communicated with Sarah anytime of day she was there and ready with a reply! She took everything in no matter how much I was confused and nervous throughout the process because of course this is a once in a lifetime experience. She took everything I said and made it beautiful! I sent her a super long poem to read for the ceremony and the delivery of it was everything I ever would want on our very special day. In all, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to unite our union.

Gemma was absolutely wonderful to work with as our wedding officiant! From the very beginning, she was so attentive to my wishes and made sure every detail felt personal and meaningful. She really took the time to understand what we wanted, and that care showed through in every part of the ceremony…even down to getting it finished and us pronounced right at 11:11! I think we had 30 seconds to go but she did her best to listen to my wishes! It was such a bonus that she also did photos for us—she captured beautiful moments that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for someone warm, professional, and truly invested in making your day special, I highly recommend Gemma!
